Now is your chance to move right into this home with a bright open floor plan with off street parking and a garage. It has a newer kitchen with opening for dining area and living room with ceramic tile. 2 bedrooms and a small den that could be used as a 3rd bedroom (no closet). The basement has "ManCave" potential. Fenced in yard & patio ready for summer cookouts!
Very affordable and well maintained ranch is ready for a new owner. This renovated 2 bedroom charmer has a den that has been used as a small 3rd bedroom in the past (no closet). Newer kitchen with maple cabinets and ample dining area is open to the living room, giving the home a bright, airy feel. Clean basement (not even a little creepy) has ventilated glass block windows and can provide function as a play area, work out room, etc. Off-street parking (no more folding chairs saving your shoveled out parking spot) and a garage, contained in a fenced in yard. Very efficient cast iron baseboard heat. Low taxes. Current owner pays less than $600/year for insurance. Not a short sale. No limits on financing types because required repairs. It's just a smaller, efficient, well maintained home that will cost about the same as rent.
